R. F. Kuang: Katabasis
Join us in Penarth for an evening with R. F. Kuang, the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Babel and global phenomenon Yellowface, as she discusses her dazzling new novel Katabasis before taking audience questions.
Katabasis (“descent to the underworld”) follows graduate student Alice Law, who must journey to Hell with her rival Peter Murdoch to retrieve her dead mentor. But Hell is stranger and more perilous than imagined—and its greatest threat may be each other. A darkly funny and fiercely original story of ambition, obsession, and unexpected love, Katabasis is one of 2025’s most anticipated novels.
